PS: this fish was nearly 9 inches , also leading me to believe it wasnt a bluegill.

Fish ID
Need help in identifying this fish. Doesn't have the dark markings im used to seeing on a blue gill, also, notice the front yellow fin, and the strip of yellow / white on the back fin. Also a strange top fin as well as the gaping mouth... What is this? Just a massive blue gill that's discolored? Is it a white crappie?
Thanks

RE:Fish ID
I think it could be a Green sunfish.. if it was wow, we should have kept it, because this bad boy went close to a pound. I suck at taking pictures, it doesn't do it justice, it was as big , if not bigger than my hand, and i can palm a basketball..
anyone have experience with Green sunfish? Is that what this is?

RE:Fish ID
I do believe what you caught there is a Warmouth Sunfish.
The Washington state record is 8.48 oz. caught at Silver Lake in 1996 by Linda Hatelid.

If I had to do it over again.....I would have caught a bigger one!
RE:Fish ID
Hmmm...after doing some more research that may be a Green Sunfish after all !
The world record for that is 2 pounds 1 oz.
